Our union did its part to bump up the average...we've been offered 1.25% for each of the four years of the agreement, with a 2% "wage restructure" applied to the top step of all levels in the third year (1 Sep 2016).  I'm not sure how that last part will be quantified into the average they need...

Something doesn't sound quite right there.  I can't speak for the officers' side, but I attended several SCAN seminars prior to my release in 2011, and there was always someone from DCBA (or I think it was DCBA) there to do a presentation on pensions.  I asked every time, and always got the same...

As far as DWAN machines go, Protected A is authorized for processing and storage, while Protected B is only authorized for processing.  Any storage must be PKI encrypted.

Phallic dimensional comparison?

People close one eye and aim a rifle with the other?  I've only ever seen the training in the CF encourage both eyes open.

There's a fairly informative DWAN website on the Carling Campus at http://intranet.mil.ca/en/change/carling-campus.page. I especially like the "Resources" tab, which says "Explore the tools and resources below to learn more about the move, and to see how to make the transition to Carling Campus...

I'm not particularly happy about the Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command claiming that it advocates for all veterans, when in reality its position statement on the return to lifetime disability pensions tosses modern veterans under the bus - but you don't see me calling for throat punches all...

You betcha. I agree the wording they used sometimes was poorly chosen, and implied that the veterans community at large was being spoken for by ABC, and that shouldn't have happened.  There's plenty of data to support that the Conservatives' spending on defence was on track to be the lowest in...

There are multiple bargaining groups within PIPSC.  For example, the CS, AVS, RE and SH groups have a tentative agreement or have ratified.  However, the AFS and NR groups have not.  There are more; I just didn't feel like looking any longer.

I haven't dug into it to find more accurate figures, but I know that a sizeable portion of PIPSC is at a stalemate and going to binding conciliation.  My own union has a tentative agreement that won't go to ratification until May (though it's a relatively small portion of the entire PS).  We've...

Considering the Liberals beat the CPC by 1.3 million votes in the election, the CPC must've ticked off a lot more than ABC, or ABC had a massively larger impact on the vote than anyone is willing to admit.  Since the former is far more likely, why am I still reading comments like yours placing...

I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed to read this comment.  Those "loud/obnoxious" parts of the veterans community aren't advocating for a return to the Pension Act.  They're advocating for a return to the Pension Act Disability Pension to replace the woefully inequitable Disability...

Yup, I know election percentages weren't the point of the post, and I even qualified my response with "I haven't seen stats on it specifically since the election..." - but I suspect that not a lot has changed since then.  The CPC are still the outliers of the three on the Canadian political...

I hear that statistic presented a lot.  I haven't seen stats on it specifically since the election, but at that time, Liberal supporters were most likely to have NDP as their second choice, while NDP supporters were most likely to have the Liberals as their second choice.  Conservative...

Nope, we verified the 2015 figures against our returns - Fed tax should be slightly higher than QC tax.  We also verified it against some friends working for other Fed gov't departments in QC.  The Phoenix numbers are wrong.  It appears to be unique to those of us living in ON but working in...

That's what we're hoping.  It's the Phoenix team claiming that they didn't touch deductions of taxes that has us shaking our heads.  Someone broke something in the transition...

I live in Ontario, and work in Quebec.  These are the final pay statements for the 2015 and 2016 years, showing YTD totals.  Phoenix took over in early 2016.  The Phoenix team assures us that Phoenix did not change anything regarding tax deductions at source and that all is well...we beg to differ.
